To participate in public decision-making processes (laws or policies), organized groups of citizens may utilize a range of mechanisms including: - Direct lobbying of legislators or decision-makers in governmental institutions; - Indirect lobbying through social mobilization campaigns and through creating alliances to promote specific agendas; - Denouncing relevant social problems and situations ignored by the government; - Participating in national, departmental or municipal planning councils, related to both general and sector policies; - Influencing the platforms of political candidates and political parties; - Informing via the media, through bulletins, press communiqués, press conferences, etc. - Developing legal cases to establish jurisprudence in relation to the citizenry’s economic, social and political rights; and - Developing and publicizing research about different relevant social issues. 102
2. Steps for drafting and implementing a public policy For both learning and practical purposes (such as developing an advocacy plan), the public policy-making process can be divided into five parts or steps, which as we know are carried out in an ongoing and unified manner. These five parts or steps are: 1. The identification of a problem that requires public action, “IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM” 2. The formulation of possible solutions, 3. The adoption of decisions by legitimate authorities, 4. The implementation of the public policy, and 5. An evaluation of the outcomes. Identify the problem that requires public action. This can be done by a government entity, but can also result from actions carried out by some segment of the affected population. For example, if cases of dengue were to suddenly appear in different communities, the Ministry of Health could design a policy for addressing this health problem and could implement it through a “national program to fight dengue.” However, in another example, it could be that the Ministry of Labor is unaware of the serious job discrimination and exclusion faced by disabled persons, despite the fact that they are capable of working and are of productive age. As a result, many organizations of people with disabilities, together with other allied groups (such as trade unions, human rights organizations, etc.) carry out actions aimed at pressuring this Ministry to include people with disabilities in the job programs it is implementing (or will implement), attending to their specific needs, especially accessibility 103
